Unfortunately, I had to cancel for now, but will be looking for this boat come summer time, as by November, my local lake (small lake) gets drained, and I won't be able to run it till Spring anyhow....

As mentioned by Turok, the Slaah simply takes more skill to drive - more throttle control, steering control, braking control, etc. It's not as wide as the MERV, so it isn't as stable. It's still fun,...

My favorite, by far - drop in digital performance w/ metal gears to boot.

Country Boi - Thanks for the heads up!!:) I saw that after my post but kept it as it was, as I wasn't sure how far he progressed w/ his MERV in terms of upgrades, performance & overall setup.

My...

I have ran both the Slash and the Revo, and I gave the Slash everything I could in upgrades (new servo, center diff, springs, programmable Tx, shock oil, tires, and everything else possible), and my...

Agreed as well! Any new video is great to see, even if it's short & sweet!

LOL! Very True!:lol:

Signed up, Thanks! :)

I agree w/ the above poster - Traxxas will sort this out, and delays are VERY COMMON in the entire RC world w/ any new product, so I don't believe this is indicative of any problem that we will be...

Green or bright orange!!

Quick it is! Don't forget to ship a few red ones, too, Traxxas!:D

Just came across this via OSE....looks quick!

Found (2) videos of the Titan I had yet to see.............just wanted to share. Looks like pre-production videos, but man, I wish they left the big "Traxxas" logo on the top of the boat, as it looks...

Not a Traxxas employee, but work for a RC hobby supplier, and my sources still say what everyone else is saying - late July. Hope someone can prove me wrong, as I have a Titan on order as well!

Adam - are you running (2) 2S LiPo's in series for a 14.8V setup? If so, your diffs simply will not last, as the MERV was never designed for this type of power system.

I'm running my MERV w/ (2)...

Email sent - hope they listen! :)

Hitec HS-85MG

I honestly don't know!:D But, it simply cuts power in half - my guess would be something simple, such as circuitry that "limits" how much throttle is seen by the ESC - i.e., if you grab full...

ESC cuts power in half - does not alter voltage. Parallel will give you double the run time, Series will give you more power & speed, but IMHO, these trucks (MERV or Slash) are so overpowered as it...

Good call - the title post said "VXL Slash," so I assumed he was talking about the 1/16th version, as the 4x4 Brushless Slash is a whole other animal.

Between a 2WD 1/10th Slash and a 4WD MERV, I...

It's a great servo - a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. As for speed, it is PLENTY fast - I have around 70% expo dialed in to keep things in check, so no worries there. :)

Keep in mind that...

Steve - if it were me, I would drop down to (1) steering servo, as (2) servos can cause problems - servos need to be matched just right, EPA's & travel have to be perfect, and if things aren't dialed...

My list below for my MERV - keep in mind that I run a track, rather than bash, so I am after track performance rather than bashing or speed. It's a quick little thing, though - worlds better than my...

Welcome!:D

My ESC (along w/ my friend's ESC) did all sorts of weird things - cut out, odd flashing, and so forth. My friend sent his ESC in to Traxxas, they replaced it, and the same thing.

All of this was...
